Last night I was checking the stats of our mail (and spam) flows to Postini from the Postini console and noticed zero statistics. Checked the guide and found out the reports update every 24 hours or so, so this morning, checked again and found some stats! At least at our South location, I was surprised to see the low volume of mail, I thought it would be much much higher.

I have successfully used the Google Apps IMAP migration tool with 3 Groupwise users, trying it out to see how much we will do on our own. While Groupwise is officially in the "unsupported" category, I'm having some success so far.

I'm sitting here currently participating in a new Google Apps User group for Teachers and Administrators at Attea Middle School in Glenview, IL. The discussion is interesting, there are about 50 teachers/administrators here. Seems like about 90% of the group has some set or subset of Google Apps for EDU set up, but there is a huge gulf of Google experience between all the participants.

I just talked a bit about participating in the Teacher's Summit last year and how interesting it was to hear directly from some of the Google product managers.

About Me

I am currently a Google Apps Consultant for Appirio, helping schools and large enterprise companies move to the Cloud!

Before this, I was the Network Manger and Google Cloud Evangelist at Maine 207 (2006-2010) and prior to that was an IT director for various businesses and libraries. I have a MS in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and am a Google Certified Teacher and Administrator. I believe that freeing applications and data centers from the traditional models and roles can empower businesses, students, teachers and administrators in ways that have only begun to be imagined.
